flavum

2:55/670AM- interactive after the 4th inning. Pierre LF, Beckham 2B, Dunn DH, Konerko 1B, Quentin RF, Milledge CF, Vizquel SS, Castro C, Morel 3B, Danks P

Buddy Bell is on with Farmer. Just said Mitchell is going to Winston-Salem.

AJ hit a rocket, and Harrison catches it by his good luck. That would have left a mark.

Rongey mentioned today that he'll be calling a couple of the internet games coming up, instead of Trey Bender. First off, good move. Second, I want on-air corrections of player's names.

Scheduled to pitch: Jackson, Pena, Infante, Jones (aka James), Hynick

2:05, whitesox.com and 670AM---Turn down Melton/turn up Farmer...lesser of two evils Pierre LF, Vizquel 2B, Dunn DH, Konerko 1B, Rios CF, Quentin RF, Pierzynski C, Ramirez SS, Teahen 3B

Milledge took his helmet off well before reaching home plate. Kinda weird.

It should be Sale, but I think it will be Thornton. I just think Thornton is more suited for the 7th or 8th inning when he's facing a couple of lefties. But I'm not too worked up about this issue. If Thornton tanks as a closer, they have a lot of options...and I don't think they'll waste a lot of time if things go sour in April.

Pretty sure it's Hawk/Stone since it's listed as CSN on the Sox schedule, and not on the Cubs.

2pm, CSN, MLBN (probably blacked out in Chicago on MLBN) Buehrle vs Dempster Sox: De Aza CF, Beckham 2B, Dunn 1B, Konerko DH, McPherson 3B, Gartrell RF, Milledge LF, Flowers C, Lillibridge SS Cubs: Baker 2B, Castro SS, Byrd CF, Soto C, Colvin RF, Soriano LF, Pena 1B, Montanez DH, Smith 3B Also scheduled to pitch: Marquez, Thornton, Ohman, Crain, Lindsay

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Mar 11, 2011 -> 08:00 AM) Agreed, I don't see a silver lining here, other than the fact it's only 2 months max he'll be out and he's not tagged as one of our starters. But this basically ensures we won't see him till June at the earliest, and when Morel is hitting .150 at 3B a lot of people are going to want to see Dayan over there if he can play average defense Viciedo's days at 3b are probably over. He's going fulltime in the outfield. And despite his spring batting average, Morel is probably better than what he's doing now. He hit .320 last year--he's probably not going to hit under .200 in the bigs.

3 Weeks!

Surprised Sale went 2.1 innings. I think Thornton's got first crack at closer. They'll probably be announcing that soon.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 10, 2011 -> 09:12 PM) Its March 10th. Don't get overly excited or pissed off at performances in spring training especially this early. Its meaningless. I know, but when it comes to a young player that's pretty much been handed the job, I'd like to see him get his knocks. He's got three weeks, so I'm not overly concerned. I just don't want to see Teahen playing there opening day.

Morel is starting to scare me.

7:40 start vs Arizona Sox: Pierrre LF, Beckham 2B, Rios CF, Quentin RF, McPherson 1B, Ramirez SS, Castro C, Morel 3B, Floyd P Dbacks: Johnson 2B, Young CF, Drew SS, Upton RF, Branyan 1B, Nady LF, Blum 3B, Montero C, Galarraga P I hate pitchers hitting.

Yeah, that Tosh special really tailed off at the end. He's better in small doses.

The Harrell thing is passable. Beckham hitting at the bottom of the order? That's a mistake. Also...Hazel Mae should do Playboy.

The interviews were ok, but the studio pieces sucked. How long have we known Beckham is hitting 2nd this year? They still had him hitting 7th or 8th. They also had Harrell as part of the bullpen. He got sent down today. Not really for the hard core fan that already knows all this stuff.

Gartrell back-to-back.

Dunn homer. 1st one.

Fun Fact: Ventura got a hit in his first game in 1989. The 0-41 was in his rookie season of 1990. Hawk has got this wrong for years.

This is the problem with following spring training games...seeing AJ at .111 makes me think he'll stink all year, and he'll be making 6 mil in 2012 for being garbage. But seriously, if Morel is at 9, would anyone object to Alexei at 7 and AJ at 8?

I know it's spring training, but I'd like to see Morel higher than .188 in a few weeks.
